No side effects that I know of. I give myself a 1cc injection weekly. Some people don't like needles, but this doesn't bother me.
Not any. Did not sedate me. I became productive. I did not crave extra and never abused the drug
I can remember some parts of the procedure. I wanted to communicate with the staff but could not, as if in a sleep paralysis. The pain was not ridiculous, but I did not like being unable to move or speak.
heart palpitations, severely dry throat, anxious
I have been on this medicine prior and done "OK" with it but have recently tried taking it again and having a multitude of problems. I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism when I was 15 years old. I did well on the medicines until I started having children and more after I had my Total hysterectomy. Since then I have gained 50lbs, and no matter what diet I have tried, weight watchers, atkins, low carb, low fat, south beach, and even not eating I still gain weight. I never lose. Within the last year everytime I try to take my synthroid I get extreme fatigue to the point it is difficult for me to function. Within 12 hours I usually experience a horrible panic or anxiety attack and just generally feel like crap. I discussed all of these symptoms with my Endocrinologist, whom made me feel like I was a complete psycho. She said that none of that could be caused by the medication and she actually asked me "what I wanted her to do?" My answer to her was you are the doctor and that is why I am here. I dont have a medical degree to treat myself, if I did I would not be where I am now. She told me just to start the meds again and fight through the side effects and for no reason should I stop it. Well that was easy for her to say because she is not the one having all the problems. I stopped it several times and the symptoms go away and then when I try to start it again they come right back. I want to get better and feel better but I shouldnt have to suffer m
i got stomach aches and headaches
I feel like I'm experience anxiety since starting. Nausea definitely on and off at times
I have never experienced a medication that had given me so many problems. I was on it for 3 months and the side effects started happening within the first week. I finished the whole 3 months of the medication because I wanted it to help my problem. Even after I finished the medication the side effects lasted 6 months later. I feel like I am not completely back to normal, but so much better then before. I've never dealt with so many health problems after taking this medication which made it the hardest year of my life. I will never take this medication again. I would rather deal with my HS disease pain than deal with the side effects of this medication.
Weight Gain, loss of sex drive
My 6 yr old son was prescribed singular about 2 months ago for allergies. He has become progressively more difficult to deal with. I thought he was 'coming down' from Christmas or tired due to a growth spurt but I will be taking him off this drug today! I am so glad I found this site or my poor baby could have ended up being in this state forever. He is normally such a cooperative, sweet little guy.
